I finally completed this 792 card set I started back in 1983 when I bought two wax boxes from a small family-owned wholesale/vending company I worked for.
Through the years, these cards have been binderized with space for the many missing cards, taken out of the binder sheets, set aside in a box, used for TTM autographs (many which never came back), and finally rebindered with an effort to finally complete the set.
I also held on to this special offer card that was inserted into wax packs...
And this game card, unscratched.
And I have the blank-back promo sheet featuring the previous years league leaders.
All I need to add is a wax wrapper
and to finish up the update set.
Now my efforts move on the the 1984 Topps set that I started the following year.
I'm fairly close on this one needing only the following cards:
18, 28, 30, 47, 73, 103, 110, 143, 169, 201, 224, 231, 253, 278, 287, 291,
299, 318, 320, 329, 333, 353, 354, 358, 378, 404, 406, 412, 457, 501, 502,
557, 585, 615, 630, 635, 643, 674, 677, 686, 712, 730, 736, 738, 761.
You can also find my need list on the above tab.
Congrats on finishing the 83 set!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing this set. It's my favorite set from that decade. I love the design and Gwynn is my favorite player of all-time. How many TTM's are in the binder? That's a pretty cool idea for a project.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy a safe New Year's Eve and have a great 2014.
Fuji, 382 of them are autographed.
